Has anyone heard about the Super GAMECUBE?
There's a GC out there that can play DVD's, CD's, and has a pretty standard sound system. It's in Japan, but rumors say that it's going to come over here at a butt-whooping price of 500 smackers.
My friend is gonna try to buy it when he goes to Japan this coming Christmas. Well anyway, I'll try to find more about this later. -Psycho |

Old news. It's the Panasonic GameCube. BTW, the price won't be that high.

Anyways, Panasonic did enter the gaming arena once way back in 1994. Anyone remember the 3DO? Much like the *very* early MSX computers, it was meant to be a gaming standard that would be adopted by many manufacturers such as Panasonic, Phillips, JVC and so on. Sadly it wasn't a success at all. Shame really because the machine was responsible for the very first Need For Speed game, which still to this day I rate as the best in the series. - S

But I never said it would be unsuccesful, I was and I am wondering if it will. But as far as I know, previous consoles like Goldstar's and Panasonic's 3DO's were useless pieces of crap, even being more powerful consoles than the others they were competing against (SNES and Genesis )

So it is supposed to be able to play all of Gamecube's games? Now a question comes to my mind: if it is sucesful, won't that be a direct hit against Nintendo? What do they say about it?

Anyway, Nintendo make most of their money from games anyway. All game manufacturers have to pay a license fee to develop each game. - S

When I first saw Panasonic 3DO, I was amazed, use to play "Road Rash" and "Need 4 Speed" all the time. But those were the only games worth looking.
Still it was better then Goldstar 3DO and Jag64.

As for the Jag64, yeah, besides some of the remade Jeff Minter classics (Tempest 2000 immediately springs to mind), it really had nothing to offer and deserved it's premature death. - S
